Lin Feng himself did not have much expectations for the box office of "Chinese Students".
Of course, as Shaodong of Huaxin Group, Lin Feng still has a great advantage over other domestic new directors.
For example, in terms of propaganda, Huaxin has given a lot of propaganda resources.
For example, the artists and directors of Huaxin have promoted the movie on their official Weibo.
Don't underestimate this kind of promotion. You should know that Wang Yifan's Weibo has already surpassed 10 million followers.
This is because Wang Yifan did not worry too much.
And other popular celebrities' recommendations, such as Yan Lingxuan, are also a rare resource for a small-cost movie that costs only a few million.
Come back again.
The film critics invited by "Chinese Students" are also different.
Most of the invited are relatively well-known literary film critics in China. These people may not have much influence among the public, but they have a good influence in the literary film circle.
Xu Min is one of them.
As an older generation of film critics in China, Xu Min differs from many film critics in that this guy is rich!
So he doesn't accept red envelopes at all, and he doesn't accept public relations. In other words, people really love movies!
But Xu Min is not interested in commercial films at all. He prefers to watch literary and artistic movies and comment on literary and artistic movies.
Xu Min was invited to watch "Chinese Students" this time.
Because there are really very few movies on this subject in China, the earliest such subject matter dates back to ten years ago.
The main reason is that the audience for this subject matter is actually not that wide.
But this subject matter is worth exploring.
This is because there are more and more groups of international students in China, and a lot of news about international students has been published in recent years, both positive and negative.
In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that in the past, economic strength was average, and studying abroad was a very remote and extravagant thing for many families.
But it is different now. The topic of studying abroad is often controversial and discussed on the Internet.
Therefore, the audience for subjects like "Chinese Students" can be said to be much wider than before.
Because it's just a special screening by film critics, not a premiere, so there are not so many things.
It's just that this is the first movie screened in "Chinese Students", so Lin Feng also brought a team of creative staff to the scene.
Soon the movie started playing.
Lin Feng sitting below looked a little nervous.
This is inevitable, after all, this is his first movie.
For this movie, Lin Feng also worked endlessly for several months, and now it's finally time to check it out.
"The subject of overseas students in China is not bad. Studying abroad has become a trend in recent years, but many people only know how good it is to study abroad, but they don't know how good it is for overseas students to be overseas." Xu Min indifferently.
Ouyang, another old film critic on the side, smiled and said: "I don't let my children go to study abroad. Those cents all say that foreign education is so good, but they have never been there. How do they know how much abroad is really? it is good?"
"By the way, Ouyang, how do you feel about studying abroad before?" Xu Min asked.
"I went to work abroad in the name of studying abroad, not studying abroad at all." Ouyang smiled bitterly.
"Only when we go do we know how difficult it is for us Chinese to be abroad!" Ouyang sighed.
At this time, the movie officially entered the picture.
The two also stopped discussing.
The beginning of the film is a scene of three families sending their children to study abroad.
Although the film does not explain the family background of the three international students, it does show some details.
For example, one of the families has a full-time driver. When he was in the car, he received a call, indicating that this is the owner of a small business.
The other family is a state-owned enterprise executive. Another family is a white-collar worker in a foreign company.
The economic conditions of the three families are quite good.
Three students, two men and one woman!
The three of them took the same plane. On the plane, the three of them imagined the life of studying abroad.
They are all looking forward to studying abroad.
Upon arrival at the school, a Chinese student enthusiastically received three people and took them to visit the campus.
Everything seems so beautiful.
Foreign students are so polite, the environment of foreign universities is so good, classmates are so enthusiastic and so on.
Everything is as the three international students imagined.
Among the overseas students, Xu Yang, the son of the small business owner, is richer in his family. He came to the United States to study, looking forward to the nightlife of American college students.
Moreover, his emotional intelligence is very high, and he quickly gets along with his classmates.
There is even a roommate dedicated to him to greet him!
Xu Yang got his wish. On the body, like a fish in water, he quickly hooked up with a female classmate...
The other two international students, Chen Xiao, whose father is an executive of a state-owned enterprise, are relatively restrained.
Lin Nana, a white-collar worker from a foreign company, is more beautiful, and her family is working in a foreign company, so she doesn't contact foreigners less often, so she seems more generous and quickly integrated into the small circle.
Xu Min nodded and said: "The backgrounds of the three international students are well set. The family of state-owned enterprises, the family of business owners, and the middle-level management family of foreign companies are very representative.
Ouyang nodded and said, "Although studying abroad is no longer so special, the cost is still not affordable by ordinary families."
"Moreover, the three international students have more interesting personalities and behaviors. Xu Yang is good at dancing with long sleeves, Lin Nana has a high EQ, and Chen Xiao is more restrained and typical nerd type."
The plot of the film continues.
Xu Yang lingered at the party, and the bar could not extricate himself.
But because I have money at home and I am more likely to come and play, I feel like a fish in a small circle.
Xu Yang and his Chinese classmates in the same dormitory went to a relatively remote alley without knowing it.
Two men suddenly appeared and wanted to rob.
Xu Yang and his classmates both prepared twenty dollars in cash and handed them to each other.
Get out smoothly!
Xu Yang smiled and said that it was the same as the ones uploaded on the domestic network. He also said that it usually only takes twenty yuan to finish it.
But as a result, they encountered another black robbery.
The two gave another twenty yuan.
But this time, the black man was not satisfied.
Ask them to hand over all the money they have, as well as their watches.
Xu Yang was overwhelmed with alcohol, and they were two people, and there was only one person on the other side, and they were holding a knife instead of a gun.
Therefore, the two resisted.
As a result, in the course of the resistance, the black robber stabbed Xu Yang to death.
